I will help.

Cool. You hold him down, I'll do the "talking". 😉

@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @InUnfunky @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie
You got it girl.

And that's how it's done.

@JoyfullyDazed @InUnfunky @Bix @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie
Without a doubt. On it.

@JoyfullyDazed @CinnamonGirlE @Bix @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie

THIS is how it's done --

Oh man, speaking of Massholes (and D.C. swamp denizens -- the director's dad prosecuted Ollie North)...

First I rolled my eyes, then I giggled. So I might have to see it. And of coahse, Fenway Paahk makes a wikkid smaht appeahance.

Matt's home. Casey too, apparently.

@JoyfullyDazed @CinnamonGirlE @Bix @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie

Poor bastards. 😆

@InUnfunky @CinnamonGirlE @Bix @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie

I definitely have to see this movie. It's like Dunkings on the big screen. 😂

@JoyfullyDazed @CinnamonGirlE @Bix @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie

No J Lo, tho.

Depending on your preference, that's either a good thing or no. 😀

Imagining how the talk went --

"Hey kid, let's make a movie. Me n' yer bro will produce it. Liman ain't doin' nuthin.'"

Eh, we haven't had a good Boston gothic crime flick in a while.

@InUnfunky @CinnamonGirlE @Bix @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie

J Lo can stay home with Ben.

I LOVE The Departed. 😊

@JoyfullyDazed @CinnamonGirlE @Bix @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie

Hey, where did the "Shining" clip go?

I just watched it; had forgotten what a tour de force of acting that scene was.

As for "Tha Depahted" -- well, you might put me back on the couch vis a vis my opinion of that one, lol.

😆

@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @CinnamonGirlE @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie

"The Shining" is a great movie.
It is interesting to see how much Stanley Kubrick changed the story from the book.

@Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie
Love SK. The Stand is the best book imo.

@CinnamonGirlE @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie
Read every Stephen King book, then read the Dark Tower series. He ties The Stand and many books together.

Is the evil from The Stand (Randal Flagg) connected to other things in "Insomnia" & "The Shining?" Find out.

@Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie
Started reading "The Dark Tower series last year and have only made it to the second book so far. #1sons fav series, so he pushes me with it. It's good, but for me, less so than "The Stand". I love how he ties things together in his books. Read most of what he has written. He is a genius, no doubt.

@CinnamonGirlE @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie
I have read a boatload of fantasy novels, The Dark Tower is my favorite.

The last 2 books have some of the best action that King has written, think of the action scenes in Thinner when the protagonist's mobster friend fights the gypsies, @peeppeepcircus

@Bix

a pretty smelly movie with Matthew McConaughey & Idris Elba though

@tgraph52
Yes, I couldn't watch it.

@Bix
I made it through once cuz I like both those movie stars but once was enough

@Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie @peeppeepcircus
I have always been an avid reader. An unexpected side effect of grief has been the loss of ability to read as I did. The brain fog kind of took over my brain. It has gotten better, but has sure sidelined my reading.

@CinnamonGirlE grief did that? 😳 @Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie

@peeppeepcircus @Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie
It really did. I just can't concentrate the way I did. It literally changed every aspect of my life.

@CinnamonGirlE @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie @peeppeepcircus
I have read a metric ton of murder mysteries, TY Lawrence Block. "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" is my favorite one. Clear your mind of the movie, because the #Comeuppance bites harder.

@Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie @peeppeepcircus
I haven't even heard of this one. I will add it to my list. 📚

@CinnamonGirlE @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie @peeppeepcircus
The "Shawshank Redemption" is the movie of the novella.

@Bix

my grandma got me started early with her shelves of Agatha Christie and Erel Stanley Gardner

@Bix
*Erle*

@tgraph52
You can't go wrong with those ones.
Over all, I find Agatha Christie's characters in her books a bit cold, but I do love Miss Marple.

@Bix @CinnamonGirlE @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie @peeppeepcircus

Weren’t they combined as “Different Seasons”? 🤔

@InUnfunky @CinnamonGirlE @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie @peeppeepcircus
Yes, that is how the 4 short novels were 1st released.

@InUnfunky @Bix @CinnamonGirlE @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie @peeppeepcircus

The first three stories from Different Seasons have been turned into movies.

Shawshank Redemption
Apt Pupil
Stand By Me (The Body, in story form)

A movie has never been done for the "Winter" story, The Breathing Method. I can sort of see why, with that one. Not sure it'd translate well to the big screen.

@Bix @CinnamonGirlE @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie

This is the only Stephen King book I can read now. After the Shining, it was too frightening to continue.

@LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie

It is a damn great book, all writers should read it.

@LnzyHou @Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie
I bet that's interesting. If he doesn't know how to write? Nobody does.

@CinnamonGirlE @Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie

Really helping with my own writing.

@LnzyHou @Bix @CinnamonGirlE @InUnfunky @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie

I LOVE this book. It's in my top 5 favs. I have the digital, hardcover and paperback (which is all marked up). Fantastic book.

@JoyfullyDazed @LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE @InUnfunky @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie
I can talk about SK, in the way that Trey's talks about Zappa.
A bunch of famous authors say that this is their favorite book on writing.

@Bix @LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE @InUnfunky @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie

It's more than a book about writing, it's a great memoir. He talks about the accident and how it changed him. It's a very good book.

@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @LnzyHou @InUnfunky @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie
I need to get this.

@Bix @CinnamonGirlE @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie

i'm afraid i've seen those connections in my own nightmares.

@Bix @CinnamonGirlE @JoyfullyDazed @codeWhisperer @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @Bobk37 @evamarie

So that’s what Bixie was talking about…”conceptual continuity” a la Zappa.

Here, make up some Bix-centric lyrics for this Ween tune.
